Greater regulation needed to protect freshwater environments from pharmaceutical drugs, says researcher

Increases in the production and use of pharmaceutical drugs–like antibiotics, antidepressants and pain relievers–are contributing to the contamination of Canada's freshwater resources. It's not just an environmental issue, but one that may pose risks to public health.

At times it feels as though our world is dividing in two. Some say its between the haves and the have nots but I don’t feel its as much about money as its about consciousness. You can have money while being kind and you can have extreme wealth while being cruel. For me if differences prevail it’s more about having awareness. Experiencing water in natural settings helps me find the present moment in consciously living.

🐟🦀 Do alien #species eat more than their native counterparts? Yes, they do: a meta-analysis led by @ufpr shows that the maximum consumption rates of the non-native species are on average 70% higher. The differences are particularly pronounced for #freshwater species – with far-reaching consequences: https://www.igb-berlin.de/en/news/invasion-gluttons

As dimensional frequencies rise causing chaos, the dysfunctional patriarchy will crumble. Many are experiencing their social circles changing because they no longer align. Counteracting isolation is possible by spending time in Nature while you form new social circles. Rebuilding a sense of Community through shared values and common goals is very important. What is Community for you?
